Problems with qemu-img when generating Vagrant images

By Laurentiu Pancescu at 07/27/2018 - 15:03

Hello everyone,

we switched from using qemu-img from CentOS 7.x to qemu-img-ev from the
Virt SIG several months ago, to allow us to generate Hyper-V images.

My attempts to build Vagrant images are failing the automated tests
since the beginning of July, apparently due to corrupt filesystems.

Where is the source code for specific build in koji ?

By Felipe de Jesus... at 07/27/2018 - 15:02

Hi there
Im looking for the git repository for the build <a href="http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22500" title="http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22500">http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22500</a>

I saw at https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!kubernetes.git but this repo is not matching with the build that im looking for.

The build was made for Centos...

Finding memory usage

By Bowie Bailey at 07/27/2018 - 11:10

I have a CentOS 7 server that is running out of memory and I can't
figure out why.

Running "free -h" gives me this:
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:           3.4G        2.4G        123M        5.9M       
928M        626M
Swap:          1.9G        294M        1.6G

The problem is that I can't find 2.4G of usage.  If I look at resident
memory usage using "top", the top 5 processes are using a total of
390M.  The next highest process is using 8M.  For simplicity, if I
assume the other 168 processes are all using 8M (which is WAY too high),

Is decoupling Apache + PHP into separate nodes possible?

By Arun Khan at 07/26/2018 - 16:48

<preamble>
I have deployed Linux/Apache/PHP (node1) + MySQL (node2) with Security
Groups (AWS) or iptables controlling who can connect to the MySQL
server. In topology terms -- a 2 Tier architecture. In AWS - one
can deploy several such instances behind a ELB. Each LAP instance
talks to a MySQL RDS. The LAP instances are either mod_php or
PHP-FPM. OS -- CentOS, Ubuntu.

Problem with definition of slist in CFEngine

Hey folks,

I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in
CFEngine on

Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22

I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing

SCLO: Clang 5 package

By Tim R at 07/24/2018 - 22:41

Hi, a new version of llvm toolset was released on RHEL including clang 5
several months ago:

<a href="https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/05/03/announcing-ga-for-latest-software-collections-developer-toolset-compilers/" title="https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/05/03/announcing-ga-for-latest-software-collections-developer-toolset-compilers/">https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/05/03/announcing-ga-for-latest-s...</a>

devtoolset 7.1 (gcc 7.3) was announced around the same time and has been in
CentOS sclo repo for some time now, but still no sign of clang 5.

Is this on anyone's to do list? llvm toolset contains a really convenient
version of clang / clang-format, which I believe many developers are using
daily for various tools.

JJB publishing job status

By Michael Turek at 07/24/2018 - 16:44

Hello centos,

ppc64le version of the rdo-test-day-tools job. However, amoralej had
mentioned that the jjb publish job was currently broken. Is the jjb
publish job down for the foreseeable future? We're hoping to get this
job going so we can iterate a bit more easily on tripleo container
builds for rdo on ppc64le.

Thanks!

Mail has quit working

By tdukes at 07/23/2018 - 18:39

Hello,

Mail has come to an abrupt stop. Running C7, postfix and dovecot. Using
Roundcube as the client.

Mail stopped working Saturday and I cannot figure was has happened. I have
not touched this server except to upgrade packages. I believe Roundcube was
updated maybe a week ago but know I was getting mail since then.

Crond is no longer send mail. I checked /var/spool/mail as well as /Maildir

FF60 does not allow download to ssh/davs

By johan.vermeulen7 at 07/23/2018 - 10:26

Hello All,

this concerns fully updated Centos7 / Mate machines;
I have people connect to ssh en davs locations. In /home/user/.gtk-bookmarks I put entries like
ssh://192.168.1.8/data data-remote

People can then click on the bookmark in the file manager and connect to it.

Since FF60 people can no longer save files for instance from their mailbox to these "mounted" locations. Before, when choosing "save as", the mounted ssh location would
appear in the download window.

I guess this is not a bug but something one can disable/enable in about:config.

Is there any way I can deploy cPanel web hosting control panel with Microsoft Exchange 2016 groupware behind one static public IP?

By Turritopsis Doh... at 07/19/2018 - 11:44

Good evening from Singapore,

Is there any way I can deploy cPanel web hosting control panel with Microsoft Exchange 2016 groupware behind one static public IP? Or do I need 2 static public IP addresses at the minimum? With Exchange 2016 groupware taking up HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, POP3S, SMTP, and SMTP/S ports, I personally don't think I can deploy cPanel behind the same public IP as Exchange.

Please advise. Perhaps you have a brilliant idea.

Logwatch inconsistency

By Adrian P. van Bloois at 07/19/2018 - 03:58

Hi all,
In my logwatch config I clearly state only too report on Yesterday.
The funny thing is that in the MailScanner section the number of mails
scanned is different thant th number reported in the postfix section to
be put on hold.
Ik I grep the Requeue statements in the MailScanner logfile this is
exactly the same number as the scan result of Hold in the postfix
logfile and is equal to the number reported by logwatch in the
MailScanner section.
How come postfix reports a lot more being put on hold than the real
number?
There is at least some inconsistency in there.

Which is better? Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?

By Turritopsis Doh... at 07/18/2018 - 11:04

Good evening from Singapore,

I am torn between deploying Microsoft Exchange 2016 and Linux-based
SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim.

Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important
consideration factor.

Microsoft Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are
relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are
extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely
time-consuming.

One of the features of Microsoft Exchange 2016 is that you can create
additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side).

Panic with EL7 KVM guest on EL6 host on AMD server with latest kernel

By Simon Matter at 07/16/2018 - 11:19

Hi,

I have AMD servers running CentOS 6.10 as KVM host and on it guests
running CentOS 7.5.

Since the latest kernel update on CentOS 6.10,
kernel-2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64, I can't boot the CentOS 7.5 guests with
kernel-3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64 anymore.

Reverting CentOS 6.10 host to kernel-2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 fixes the problem.

Screendump of the panic is attached, not very helpful I guess.

The CPU models where I could test it are:

cpu family : 15
model : 65
model name : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218
stepping : 3

cpu family : 16
model : 6

kvm & permission denied

Everyone,

I am trying to install KVM on a desktop unit as a lab project with the
hope of being able to use kvm on one of our office servers after I
learn how. So far I am very low on the learning curve.

I have used the guide to make the installation :

<a href="https://www.linuxtechi.com/install-kvm-hypervisor-on-centos-7-and-rhel-" title="https://www.linuxtechi.com/install-kvm-hypervisor-on-centos-7-and-rhel-">https://www.linuxtechi.com/install-kvm-hypervisor-on-centos-7-and-rhel-</a>

The installation seemed to go well, but when I tried to add Fedora 27
with virt-manager I have continued to get file permission errors.

ssm vs. lvm: moving physical drives and volume group to another system

Computer with Centos 7.5 installed on hard drive /dev/sda.

Added two hard drives to the computer: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc.

Created a new logical volume in RAID-1 using RedHat System Storage Manager:

ssm create --fstype xfs -r 1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /mnt/data

Everything works.
/dev/lvm_pool/lvol001 is mounted to /mnt/data.
Files and folders can be copied/moved, read/written on /mnt/data.

C7, just updated firefox, bugs

By m.roth at 07/12/2018 - 10:36

I just updated the "critical" firefox update, and it is *seriously* buggy.

1. I killed my old session, and started a new. Many (all?) tabs show
*nothing* until I put my cursor in the URL bar and hit <enter>
2. I cannot open a link in an email in thunderbird. I click the link, and
after a bit (30 sec? more?) a small windows tells me that firefox is
running, but not responding, which it certainly responds when I focus on
firefox.

centos-indexhtml

By Phil Wyett at 07/12/2018 - 01:40

Hi all,

With the release of firefox 60.x.x ESR that does not by default use the package
'centos-indexhtml', we are left with only KDE's 'konqueror' using it. Just for
discussion... is centos-indexhtml needed any more and have a future in the
distro and should konqueror be altered to homepage to the CentOS homepage?

Regards

Phil

FYI: Useful to know on pdf printing

By m.roth at 07/11/2018 - 09:46

This is just an FYI, folks.

We've got this large poster printer. We had some, er, environmental
issues, let us say, and first I had to recreate the .ppd (HP "doesn't
support printing from Linux, and the one a former coworker extracted from
the Mac package... was for a 23", not this 44"). Then... I was trying to
print from a 6.9 box.

Hi ,

In FIPS mode I was using

"NSS FIPS 140-2 Certificate DB:mypassphrase" in /etc/ipsec.d/nsspassword and in my custom location.

But it is failing with the below error in logs:

Jun 27 12:36:11: authentication of "NSS FIPS 140-2 Certificate DB" failed Jun 27

12:36:11: FATAL: NSS initialization failure

I was using CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) with libreswan-3.20-3.el7.x86_64.

Could you please help me to resolve this problem.

Semi-OT: LSI raid card sorta....

By m.roth at 07/10/2018 - 13:37

I've got a box running C7, just updated (yesterday). It had an onboard
RAID controller, and an HBA. I just installed a new, additional RAID card,
all LSI.

MegaCli64 only sees one controller. I can't seem to find the magic to see
the others. I *know* the new card is a MegaRAID - the box it came in says
so.

Solarflare SFC9000 direct connection

By Johnny Hughes v... at 07/10/2018 - 12:39

hi guys

I wonder if any of you might be using SFN6122F-R7 SFP+ (SFC9000, same
firmware everywhere, Centos 7.5 too.

I'm trying poor man's setup to get the servers onto 10GbE network.

Setup is such that three Dell R815 are connected to each other, each has
one Solarflare(SFP ports) and each Solarflare is set as net-team(both
ports on a card are net-team device) with runner in broadcast mode. And
it all seems to work, they ping each other, iperf okey.

The problem, big problem is that when traffic start to flow between all
three servers simultaneously, with rsync for example, then!!

Certbot error CentOS 7.5

By Jerry Geis at 07/10/2018 - 08:54

Hi All - I am running CentOS 7.5 and trying to use certbot.
I am getting an error 403 forbidden on the
/.well-known/acme-challenge/-CG_gSckofY5ln7TdMvoanDI1_FBRh8otQkyB0hxmoo

Some searching indicated permission problems... I also noticed that the
/var/www/html directory does not even have the .well-known directory in
it. The /var/www/html directory was root:root I changed it to root:apache
and still same error.
ls -l /var/www/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Jun 27 09:49 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root apache 214 Jun 27 09:49 html

Anyone ran into this ?

bad text under KDE and C7

By Michael Hennebry at 07/10/2018 - 02:26

I recently installed C7 from a C7+gnome CD.
Gnome was awful enough that I promptly installed KDE.

KDE is not doing so well either.
Text in text editors invoked by "opening" a file is flakey at best.
E.g. pieces disappear and duplicate.
Terminals seem ok, including vim invoked from the terminal.
Firefox text seems ok.
The sidebar text in file-browser windows often has "black tape" over it,
usually completely covering text.
The file names are ok.

Suggestions on how to dignose this?
